re: Is anyone else happily married to someone you love and generally happy in life?

Married 26 years to my lover and best friend. She really does make my life so much better.

Have 3 kids but only two still at home in high school. We are enjoying the time with our kids and enjoying cheering them on in their school activities, but planning on enjoying our future together as empty nesters.

Honestly, I guess we are lucky because marriage has never been difficult or something we had to work at. We have always gotten along well.

I am married...still. Not really sure how to judge the happiness. We aren't a fake 10 happy like Facebook Warriors, but we aren't on the cusp of divorce or abusing each other either. We have a some small swings and some big swings in both directions, but both satisfied with life together

Yep. My wife is awesome.

Nobody is actually going to admit their marriage sucks unless it is truly in the shitter.

I've only seen a handful of people here talk about their wife with respect. Particularly when the "what does your spouse do that pisses you off" topics come up. It's insane what some people on here say about their S/Os. If they are jokes, at best they're bad ones, at worst a lot of people on this board harbor deep seated resentment that would be better off discussed with a professional.

My wife and I do almost everything together and love it. We rarely get under each other's skin. When I have a project, I don't give a frick if it's building something, finances, life plans, scrubbing the floor, etc. I want her input because she's a smart capable person. A lot of posts on here make me want to throw up when the topic of women come up. It's as if people have it in their head that men are better than women overall, which is untrue aside from some specific biological differences.

No complaints here.

Life is good.
